Bill 1738 needs to pass for the good of our children and the world. Senator Bill Nelson you must make sure this bill passes. We need to finally do something to help these kids and get those people off the streets, the laws are not tough enough for the crime being performed on children.
You Must Do Something Now with Bill 1738, Get it PASSES!!!!!!!
Bill 1738 needs to pass today! Do not let the session end without passing this bill!
Every day you let this slide by thousands of children are losing their childhood, they are suffering. I’m am sickened that congress thinks it’s ok to go on summer vacation and not do their duties. I personally could not leave knowing I was letting people down with unfinished work. DO YOUR JOBS and at the very least take care of this bill to protect our children! I’ve adopted 2 children that suffered sexual abuse since infancy. It’s taken years in our care to give them back their childhood, and allow them to finally be the people they were intended to be. I can’t save all the children, but you can. What will you do this week to make this happen???
There is no tax to high are price to large for me, as a parent to prevent anything from harming my child. Get tough on these animals they must be stopped our future is at stake.
Where are my KS Senators on this? we need this law passed and our babies and children protected. this takes money and funding to our law enforcement and to those going after the predators.
Please pass this act!
America can and must do better. Give authorities the money they need to put these monsters behind bars, and give the preyed upon children a better life. I am not afraid of terrorism or gas prices, but I am terrified by these child predators. No child should have to wait for justice because of funding, partisan politics or the Senate’s Summer Vacation.
Protect all children, PASS S.1738 NOW.
This is an 8 year budget.
Oprah has a thing about exploiting children? She supports allot of schools.
problem with this bill, it wants to make it illegal for places like starbucks or McDonalds or libraries to offer free internet access with out first getting your personel information and then having equipment to record and moniter everything you do online, it is already against the law to hurt children all this bill does is creates unnecessary burdens on business owners and can turn innicent people into criminals, if you have wireless internet in your house and one of your neighbor use it and looks at bad stuff you are now a criminal.
We need to enforce the laws we already have and leave the internet alone, this bill will make anonymous internet surfing illegal. This bill does nothing to help children it simply hurts peoples and helps the government to position them selfs to create taxes for things you do online,
Do you want to pay the price of a stamp everytime you send an email, how else is the government going to be able to afford to examine every e-mail to make sure there are no pictures of naked kids in the e-mail you sent.
The bill has a good name but that is the only thing good about it.
Don’t be a sheep, a turd by any other name is still a turd and still smells as sweet.
It is already against the law to hurt children yet people still do it, creating a law that hurts people that do not hurt children is not going to help children we need to enforce the laws we already have.
Times change and our laws should change with the times. What you do in public is for public use. If you want to look at porn, go home to your own private house and do so. You can put a block on your wireless internet so your neighbors can’t get on it.
Its not about looking at porn, people should be able to use the internet as an educational tool at schools and libraries, people should be able to access the internet at hotels and businesses to get work done. nobody should be looking at porn in public but we already have indecency laws in place for public places.
I do not see how this bill protects or helps children, it will just mean that it is harder for them to study and there parents will have less money.
Make a list of the good this bill brings and a list of the bad this bill brings. I have a good idea that the good would far outweigh the bad any way you look at it.
I’m willing to give up a little of my internet privacy in order help protect even 1 child. Why are we as a society so afraid to reveal what we are doing. Do we really have that much to hide?
give us your name and address and phone number and we will believe you
please scan photo ID and enter your SIN for opinion verification
I am sorry if you won’t be able to access your Yahoo acount at Starbucks. My son is 17 months old and the thought
of anyone hurting him in anyway angers me to no end. If you have nothing to hide then it should not be a problem.
And you need to keep the fuck away from me. Why the hell should my freedom be restricted?
Our Children are our future and if we cannot protect them from these disgusting sexual predators, SHAME ON US. We are always willing to help everyone else – just look at our economy and the loss of jobs and homes. Please let’s be strong enough to at least PROTECT THE CHILDREN OF OUR FUTURE! VOTE YES – THERE SHOULD NOT EVEN BE A DISCUSSION…. SHAME ON ALL WHO CAN’T SEE WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM AND DO NOT WANT TO HELP! I work with children and they are my passion, 10 months a year at school and a summer recreation program for 6 weeks. I work township dances on Friday nights to keep the children off the streets and off the computers. More parents need to spend more quality time as a family and observe the action under their own roof. THANKS WITH FULL SUPPORT
Ok, look. I’m responsible for the safety of my children. I can handle it. Use the laws on the books. Don’t spend more money that we don’t have creating even more government agencies.
What a selfish way to look at the situation. What about all those children that are being put into harms way by their own parents and have no one to protect them.
Arrest the parents? You know…like…enforce the paws we already have?!
That’s just it, they don’t. My daughter was abused at the age of 3 by her father. The first time he spanked her so hard she couldn’t sit down for a week, the sexual abuse outcry happened about 5 months later and she said “daddy puts his fingers in my pee-pee and it hurts.” The state didn’t do anything to him. He did pass a lie detector test which predators can do because in their minds they are “loving” the child. It wasn’t until 2 years later and another sexual test was done did it appear that he was a high risk for sexual harm to children. Was anything done to him NO. When he carried her by her neck through his apartment was anything done to him NO. When he had barely dressed minors on his myspace page was anything done NO. Because the funding isn’t there they can’t go after each and every case. They go after the ones with the most damage and everyone elses kids get pused aside. The Sexual Abuse Nurse told me that over 77% of cases do not get investigated because the damage isn’t bad enough. This isn’t a good explanation for me. I want this bill passed to protect children like my daughters.
what in this bill would do anything to help or have protected your child?
Nothing
The police and the CPS workers told me that funding stops them from fully arresting and investigating. If there was more funding someone might have used it to protect her or those minors all over his myspace page.
your 3 tear old was on myspace?you are full of shit.
Troll
No he had minors barely dressed on his myspace ages 14-17 we printed them out and turned them in to Missing and Expolited chilren. Nothing was done to him. He also had a picture of his other daughter on their without her shirt on. She was 3 at the time.
I will have my CJ degree in the next year. I am specializing in sex offenders.
People that like 14-17 year olds and people that like 3 yr olds have two different disorders. An offender that is sexually attracted to 3 yr olds is not is not a risk to developed teens and vise versa.
Well thats good to know but would you want your 14-17 yo daughters page on a 35 yr old mans? It is still sick.
why did you let this happen to your kid. do you not own a gun?
I do not own a gun but even if I did I murder him then my girls are raised without a mother.
who are the people that said that, State there names for public record. For reals who told you that/
